Rethinking Promotion and Tenure Criteria in the Digital Age
A task force is preparing a document for the Faculty Senate at UMass Amherst on scholarship in the digital age. We talk about lots of vexing issues with respect to old and new or emerging reward structures, the economics of publishing, etc. Most of the members are library-centric scholars, or actual librarians. I find myself tasked with drafting the section on promotion and review considerations. In particular, I have been asked to show some examples where universities, schools, colleges or specific departments have found new types of scholarly artifacts worthy of recognition. If you know of an example where the traditional consideration of books and articles in top tier journals is being augmented with other types of uniquely digital contributions, please let me know directly. I will share the results of this survey with the list when it is complete. Many thanks, ~Stu -- Dr. Stuart W.

Stuart/ You may be interested in various activities that I've profiled in my _Scholarship 2,0_ blog: Scholarship 2.0 is devoted to describing and documenting the forms, facets, and features of alternative Web-based scholarly publishing philosophies and practices. The variety of old and new metrics available for assessing the impact, significance, and value of Web-based scholarship is of particular interest.

Stuart, You should contact Cheryl Ball at Illinois State (cball@ilstu.edu). She has been working on this issue for the last few years for our field and probably has some insights/information she could share. Kathie __________________________________ Kathie Gossett, PhD Asst.

The University of Maine has new criteria at http://newmedia.umaine.edu/interarchive/new_criteria_for_new_media.html . The criteria looks appropriate to me. I would definitely appreciate hearing what other schools are doing. The small college I work at would not consider the Maine criteria, which reflects what I actually do and teach. At the moment, I'm trying to decide whether or not I even want to stay in academe. Tery On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 5:40 PM, Stuart Shulman <stuart.shulman@gmail.com> wrote:

Stu, And just what do you mean by "library-centric scholars" and "actual librarians" ? Please forgive me for bursting your stereotype, but we--librarians and LIS faculty--face the same brick walls of institutional rejection of our creative works, community and digital projects in consideration for tenure and promotion.

Maria, Sorry if my hastily drawn categories were cause for concern, but, since you ask: library-centric: researchers who conduct their work largely in brick and mortar libraries and archives with non-digitized objects actual librarians: people who work in libraries my own situation: formerly library-centric and archival http://shulman.ucsur.pitt.edu/dissertation.htm but now increasing web-based. I'm not sure I intended to stereotype anyone. As a political scientist who just spent four years working in a Library and Information Science program at Pitt, I have no preconceptions. Nor was it intended as a knock on anyone or any view. I have tremendous respect for my task force colleagues. So much so, I am seeking outside help to make sure my contribution is worthy of inclusion in the task force report. Many of the comments made to directly to me have been incisive, invaluable, and focused on the actual question at hand. ~Stu On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 5:46 PM, <gonzalez@ischool.utexas.edu> wrote:

Off with his head :-) I think there is an underlying assumption that if we change the criteria that will solve the problem. I'm not so sure. I've written quite a few RTP external evaluations over the past ten or so years. This requires that you look at other schools RTP policies. I found many of them so broad that it's really not that hard to fit many forms of unconventional scholarship within the standards if you want. Years ago when I was at IU they had a little document that showed you how to do that. True, that's not true of some schools. The big problem is the "if you want". Changing rules doesn't mean changing behavior. If you can't educate your colleagues and the administration, new rules might not change very much. Sadly, a some people really don't give themselves an even break. Most universities expect you to be part of a national conversation. If you are part of a niche, and you exist only in that niche, it is hard for others to see how you are part of that larger dialog.

Another point is that it is not just or only the university's rules. Scholars from the discipline write the letters that give the thumbs up to research and academic profiles. As much of the change has to come from there as from the university. /Caroline ---- Original message ----
